Earth's Energy Budget
100
The largest layer of the Earth at 2900 km thick.
What is the Mantle?
100
A boundary that forms between air masses with differing densities.
What is a Front?
100
The solid, rocky part of Earth
What is the Geosphere?
100
The shape and elevations of earth's surface.
What is Topography?
100
It cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred.
What is Energy?
200
This layer is so hot that the metals in it are all in a liquid state.
What is the Outer Core?
200
A large volume of air in which temperature and moisture content are nearly the same throughout.
What is an Air Mass?
200
The liquid part of Earth like rivers, oceans, water and rain.
What is the Hydrosphere?
200
The boundary of an advancing mass of cold air, in particular the trailing edge of the warm sector of a low-pressure system.
What is a Cold Front?
200
70% of it is absorbed and 30% of it is reflected.
What is Incoming Solar Energy?
300
This layer is like "the skin of an apple."
What is the Earth's Crust?
300
A short term state of the atmosphere.
What is Weather?
300
The frozen water on the Earth like snow, ice and frost.
What is the Cryosphere?
300
Results from the flow in the liquid iron outer core.
What is Earth's Magnetic Field?
300
The cycle of transferred energy on Earth.
What is Earth's Energy Budget?
400
The metals that composes the outer core.
What are Nickel and Iron?
400
It is responsible for the rain, snow and ice that falls. It also affects the wind.
What is the Water Cycle?
400
A mixture of mostly invisible gases that surround Earth
What is the Atmosphere?
400
A boundary between two air masses that more or less doesn’t move. It is shown using a warm and cold front symbol.
What is a Stationary Front?
500
The order of Earth's six layers.
What is 1. Crust 2. Asthenosphere 3. Upper Mantle 4. Lower Mantle 5. Outer Core 6. Inner Core
500
Evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.
What are the Three Parts of the Water Cycle?
500
Mass divided by volume.
What is Density?
